Rioja Wine Grapes
Tempranillo: The indigenous grape par excellence, accounting for 50-80% of any bottle of Rioja red.
Garnacha Roja: A far more common and less reliable grape of red wines.
Mazuelo: A pungent grape producing wines rich in tannin and sharp to the palate. The French Carignan Noir.
Graciano: An indigenous, but uncommon grape producing highly aromatic reds.
Viura: The main white grape variety, used especially for mature white wines.
Malvasia: White grape that lends a fruity aroma to young wines and acquires a golden hue with age.
White Garnacha: Akin to the Garnacha Roja, an indigenous but unexceptional white wine grape.
